Linux: Add epoll ioctls
As of Linux kernel 6.9, some ioctls and a parameters structure have been introduced which allow user programs to control whether a particular epoll context will busy poll. Update the headers to include these for the convenience of user apps. The ioctls were added in Linux kernel 6.9 commit 18e2bf0edf4dd ("eventpoll: Add epoll ioctl for epoll_params") [1] to include/uapi/linux/eventpoll.h.
